ThumbGuard

Thumbs up and out of the mouth

This pricey item works. I read the reviews and had some concerns about the guard being easily removed. My husband put it on and there was no problem. I bought a Small for my 4 year old. It fit fine with a tip over the top ( not enough to suck on) I would recommend putting a band aid on the hand where the clasp fits together as my son got a blister. He had it on for 3 days and nights and we are free of the problem. I took away a star because the sizing is so vague and since you can not return it,it presented a problem for such a pricey item. I did call to get a gage on the sizing and ordered the M and S sizes to be sure since the sales lady told me It was in a bag and if I hold it up to the thumb to make sure before I opened the packet. It was not in a packet it was in a box and could not be viewed until opened so don't fall for that trick. We opened the small first and it fit the size is probably why the person said their child was able to remove it. They took the Medium back no problem since I did not open the box.

All done thumb!

Purchased this for a 4 y.o. I was motivated for him to stop sucking his thumb. Him? Not so much. We had tried the bitter agents and bribery to no avail. Two weeks of 24/7 wearing of this device and habit broken! We have followed up one more week at bedtime, just to be safe. Although it's a spendy product, here's hoping it will save us orthodontist fees later.

Great Product

This was a great find. We were really struggling with my 4 yr old and his thumb sucking. The dentist was very concerned. He started out wearing it all day (only for a few days) but now only wears it to bed because he will still put his thumb in his mouth while he is sleeping. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with a thumb sucker!

Size Medium: Suitable for children aged 5 to 6, who weigh between 40 and 55 pounds
